I first learned of this memorable Texas Hold'em Poker game on a visit to Lindy's in the middle of January. As I was munching on a pastrami sandwich, Rothstein, accompanied by Jimmy Meehan, entered and sat down at his favorite table. Minutes later when he spotted me, he motioned to me to come over to his table. Once I was seated at Rothstein's table, he said, "Johnny, have you heard about the crooked game that took place in Meehan's apartment?"
"No, Mr. Rothstein. I have no idea what you're talking about."
"No, Mr. Rothstein. I have no idea what you're talking about." "Well, Johnny, you know George McManus. I introduced you to him at one of my parties when you entertained with your card tricks." "Sure, I remember him, Mr. Rothstein. He's the dice bookie at Warren's crap game," I replied.
